Next month, the Northeastern New York Reach foundation will be hosting their 2nd inaugural Birdie Challenge at Colonie Golf & Country Club.
NENY PGA Professionals will team up with each other and even include a few club facility amateurs as part of the team to make as many birdies as possible to raise funds to support PGA REACH NENY Foundation.
The Birdie Challenge is a one-day fundraising event to support PGA REACH NENY and all of our foundation pillars to positively impact lives through the game of golf. NENY PGA Professionals and amateur team members will play 45 holes of golf in one day to make as many birdies as possible! Through each team and individual’s network, solicited donors make a financial pledge per birdie or with a flat donation to support their pro and help raise funds to benefit our non-profit 501c(3) foundation. Every pledge truly makes a difference to impact lives!
